Who are you?" asked Wayland. "West flight-lieutenant, 10th division, Cinque-Ports patrolling squadron." "Good heavens, man! What are you doing in Finistère?" "What!" "You are in Brittany, province of Finistère. Didn’t you know it?" The air-officer seemed astounded. Presently he said: "The dirty weather foxed us. Then that fellow out yonder winged us. I was glad enough to see a coast line."
I made him almost foxed, the poor man having but a bad head, and not used I believe nowadays to drink much wine. So after dinner, they being gone, I to my office, and so home to bed. 15th.
He that tells a very rich man that he will procure him a sum of money, a temperate sober man, and one that drinks water only, that he is foxed, or hath taken a cup too much, a hospitable, generous, good-humored man, that he is a niggard and pinch-penny, or threatens an excellent lawyer to meet him at the bar, must make the persons smile and please the company.
Luellin, I think almost foxed, and there dined with me and very merry as I could be, my mind being troubled to see things so ordered at the Board, though with no disparagement to me at all. At dinner comes a messenger from the Counter with an execution against me for the L30 10s., given the last verdict to Field. The man's name is Thomas, of the Poultry Counter.
So that as I did nothing so they are able to bear witness that I had no opportunity there to do anything. At home dined, and all the afternoon at a Committee of the Chest, and at night comes my aunt and uncle Wight and Nan Ferrers and supped merrily with me, my uncle coming in an hour after them almost foxed. Great pleasure by discourse with them, and so, they gone, late to bed. 21st.
So to the office awhile, troubled with Sir W. Pen's impertinences, he being half foxed at Johnson's, and so to bed. 29th. Lay long talking with my wife about Balty, whom I do wish very well to, and would be glad to advise him, for he is very sober and willing to take all pains.
By and by away, and calling my wife went home, and then a little at Sir W. Batten's to hear news, but nothing, and then home to supper, whither Captain Cocke, half foxed, come and sat with us, and so away, and then we to bed. 20th. Called up by Mr.
Some will sift quick Lime into foxed Drinks while they are working in the Tun or Vat, that its Fire and Salts may break the Cohesions of the Beer or Ale, and burn away the stench, that the Corruption would always cause; but then such Drink should by a Peg at the bottom of the Vat be drawn off as fine as possible, and the Dregs left behind.
But his features, in spite of irregularity, and a complexion resembling the tone of 'foxed' paper, attracted observation, and rewarded it; his eye had a pleasant twinkle, oddly in contrast with the lines of painful thought upon his forehead, and the severity of strained muscles in the lower part of his face.
